As a barista of many years, from Dunkin to Saxbys, I’ve experienced “drive-thru” press of a button coffee, handmade, brewed to order coffee, and coffee from every bean imaginable. I’ve experienced customers from “I’ll have a medium coffee” to “I’ll take a caramel iced macchiato with an extra shot and almond milk rather than skim,” so I’m making this guide for those who may be curious about what drinks they can order and for the people who are just trying to find a drink to “switch it up.”

1. The Basics

Hot Black Potted Coffee (decaf/caf/blonde/dark)

Decaf: less/no caffeine

Blonde: more caffeine, roasted for less time

Dark: less caffeine, roasted longer

Iced Black Coffee

2. Next Level

Flavored hot/iced coffee (ex; Columbian, french vanilla, Cuban)

3. “Extra” Level

Syrup Flavored Coffee

Mocha, pumpkin, vanilla, caramel, etc.

Latte (iced/hot)

Espresso + milk

Cappuccino (hot only)

More foam/milk steamed longer + espresso

Macchiato (iced/hot)

Milk on the bottom, shots on top

Cold Brew

Brewed for 14-36 hours to maximize potency and caffeine content

4. “Boujee” Level

Flavored Latte (iced/hot)

Can't forget the caramel flavoring

Flavored Macchiato (iced/hot)

Just add ya favorite flavor

French Pressed Coffee

Strong hot coffee that is made in a "french press" that is shown above

Nitro Cold Brew

Cold brew charged with nitrogen to give it a rich, creamy head

Whether I missed your favorite "flat-white" or something even "boujier", or taught you something new about coffee...I hope this guide was helpful and doesn't cause you to have an even greater caffeine addiction.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
